Heavy flooding prompts military assistance

HEADQUARTERS 43 (Wessex) Brigade at Tidworth activated its Operations Room after Somerset County Council appealed for military assistance last Wednesday in the light of the floods on the Somerset Levels.

A military team was sent to the Police Command Centre at Taunton and brigade units were placed on notice to move in if military assistance was required.
